Intel 10nm Systems Will Be Launched For 2019 Holidays

Due to issues with yields, Intel has delayed mass production of their 10nm CPUs until 2019. They just announced that they will be available for purchase during the 2nd half of next year, in time for the holidays. Because the 10nm probably won’t launch until Q4, the 14nm CPUs will still be the primary one used for most of the year.

Intel’s CEO promised that 10nm datacenter products will be available soon after the 10nm-compatable client systems become available in late 2019. Intel confirmed that the codenamed Ice Lake-SP CPUs may hit the market in Q3 or Q4 of 2020. It might be worth waiting until October-ish to upgrade your CPU, if you can wait that long!
